Brilliant Back-Heel Goal Shakes Up The Premier League

With just nine games remaining, Chelsea was in good position to
win the Premier League title until the 82nd minute of today's
match against Aston Villa.

That was when Fabian Delph redirected a crossing pass into the
back of the net. At first it wasn't entirely clear how Delph
struck the ball. But a replay showed that he used the heel of his
left foot to push the ball past the back of his right foot.
(Here's video of the full
play.)

Beautiful. Here's a look of the trajectory of the ball after it
came off his heel.

And more importantly, Chelsea's first loss in 15 matches opens
the door for Manchester City to win their second title in three
years. Chelsea still has a six-point lead in the table. But
Manchester City has three more games remaining than Chelsea.
